Oiltreader. Thank you for the Tayside photo’s and link to Dundee companies.
D&D was one I had forgotten. There was a lot of flatbeds around at that time 1980/81. Used to pass P.S . Ridgeways on the way to work, and hardly a day went by when you didn’t see Thomson Press then mostly 4 wheel ERFs heading out or returning home. Harry Lawson’s tankers were regulars on Dock Street and the Kingsway.
Great memories if the City and its people.
Regards Paul

Hi Oily, & Lurpack mentioning your comment re a tag axle motorhome, just the same as most trailing axle six wheelers hopeless on soft ground or trying to reverse up a slope or over a kerb.
Cheers, Leyland 600.

Jameson’s Guy loading oil dispersal chemicals at Dasic near Romsey, Hants bound for Cornwall when the Torre Canyon fell apart on the rocks so some one will know what year that was, all driving regulations were waived for trucks on this job, Buzzer.

Quite a few photos on the net Ivor, all over the country, anywhere where there was sand, gravel or rock it would appear, swallowed up by Hanson who had an HQ at Maidenhead.
